What is Organic Month?
Canada’s National Organic Month is the largest annual celebration of organic food, farming and products across the country. Hundreds of individual events showcase the benefits of organic agriculture and its positive impact on the environment. Organic represents a vibrant alternative food system and an alternative option for clothing, personal care and cleaning products.
In past years, events included anything from pickling workshops to recipes, contests, farm tours, or organic food and drink tastings in retail locations across the country. If you want to get involved this year, check out our Organic Month events section on our website or plan an event in your community.

Contests
Do you choose organic when you shop?
The label of an organic product must bear the name of the certification body, also known as an organic certifier, that has certified the product as organic. When a product is organic, the certifier's verification is shown by leaving their mark: their logo or their name.
The Organic Mark-Get-Set-Go Contest invites you to share a photo of your favourite organic product. Tell us why organic certification matters to you—and how the certification mark helps you shop with confidence. Whether it's about trust, environmental impact, health, or supporting farmers’ health, your story helps inspire others to choose organic with confidence.
On your mark... get set... go -- to win organic prizes!
Look for the statement “Certified organic by (name of the certifier)” on the package. Images of both the product and name and/or logo displaying the organic claim are required for a chance to win amazing organic prizes.
How to Enter:
- Post two photos (one of the product and one of the organic certifier name and/or logo) and your statement of why organic matters to you on Instagram or Facebook. Please note that the name and/or logo of the organic certifier must be visible.
- Follow and tag @choosecanadaorganic and use the hashtag #OrganicMark2025
